Heaven & Hell are for artists only. But they have trouble believing in purgatory.

Sexuality is the basis of every certainty. (And doubting is a kind of chasteness.)

I felt a strange sensation, fever without heat, lightness without movement; i shook with a lost, unnameable emotion strong like a foreign chemical... And yet, it was long my own. I saw it then as fear. As though seen through a telescope reversed, small and far away: the fear of what? only dying. I went on with my business. This is something else to know, for sure. Had i never known i lived?

Nonviolence only has meaning against force that's not routine. --Then what can we use against routine force? How would you stop a tank? At its head. With routine force humans become appendages, mere tools. But there is always one who isn't--isn't there? Can all this violence be part of a natural process??
